The Higgins Armory Museum, located in Worcester, Massachusetts - is one of the largest arms and armor collections outside of Europe. It has a stunning range of swords, armor, maces, lances, and other equipment.

This set of photos was taken by me at Higgins in June 2013.

Sadly, Higgins closed down on December 31, 2013. The collection then moved to the Worcester Art Museum, but most of it will go into storage there.
